Abstract

"During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, European and American colonists perpetrated one of history's most monstrous crimes: slavery. Millions of Africans were forcibly abducted from their homes and subjected to misery, humiliation and death as part of the brutal Atlantic slave trade. However, given that those who perpetrated and profited from slavery are long dead, should reparation be made for this historic injustice? Should current generations pay for the crimes of their forebears? If so, how? In this book, Janna Thompson illuminates this debate with skill and clarity. She uses three case studies - France's treatment of Haiti, Britain's role in the African slave trade, and the plight of African Americans - to address these questions in an accessible and engaging fashion. She makes a nuanced case for the necessity of reparations, but argues that the exact form they take should vary from case to case, depending on a whole range of factors, both principled and practical. This engaging book is a concise and highly readable introduction to the issues for students of political theory and philosophy, and anyone who wishes to grapple with the complexities of reparative justice and our responsibility for the darkest aspects of our past"-- "Given that those who perpetrated and profited from slavery are long dead, should reparation be made for this historic injustice?

Abstract

Paris 1919. Politiker und Diplomaten stehen vor einer Aufgabe, der sich noch keine Generation zuvor stellen musste: die Schaffung einer globalen Friedensordnung nach dem Ende eines Krieges, der erstmals die ganze Welt erfasste. Für die Liberalen am Verhandlungstisch war das Ziel ein Frieden im Zeichen freier Selbstbestimmung demokratischer Nationen. US-Präsident Wilson hatte es verkündet. Die Anhänger der traditionellen Großmachtpolitik hingegen wollten vor allem Entschädigungen für die eigenen Opfer. Und Lenins Bolschewiki propagierten den Weltfrieden durch die Diktatur des Proletariats. Die Vielzahl der Kriegsparteien und Fragen der nationalen "Ehre" erschwerten die Verhandlungen, die sich bis 1923 hinzogen. Von der Glaubwürdigkeit der Friedensbedingungen für Sieger und Besiegte aber hing die Haltbarkeit des Friedens ab. So quellennah wie nötig und so knapp wie möglich veranschaulicht Klaus Schwabe Verhandler und Verhandlungen, die alliierte, deutsche und weltweite Dimension des Versailler Vertragswerkes und bewertet es neu, indem er die Leistungen und bis heute nachwirkenden Konsequenzen dieses Friedensschlusses herausstellt: Versailles musste nicht von vornherein scheitern.

Abstract

"A number of Western states and institutions have sought to come to terms with their relationships to non-Western states and peoples. Powerful actors and institutions are apologizing to the relatively powerless. What do these apologies mean? Are they an indication of a new international order, either politically or as they relate to international law? Or are these apologies fleeting and insignificant? In The Age of Apology twenty-two law, politics, and human rights scholars explore the legal, political, social, historical, moral, religious, and anthropological aspects of Western apologies in an attempt to answer these questions. Conversely, a nonapology might be as important to study, and several chapters discuss the absence or refusal of apology and how this might be interpreted."--Publisher description. "In a turnabout of the cynical belief that might makes right, nations now see fit to issue apologies to peoples and countries they have wronged. We live in an age that seeks to establish political truth, perhaps best exemplified by the creation of truth commissions in societies seeking to emerge from dictatorial pasts. The most noteworthy result of these efforts has been the near-universal realization that a society will not be able successfully to pass into the future until it somehow deals with the horrors of its past.
